Nesting or just enjoying the view...?

I don't know what this bird is doing. I think it is a female purple martin as there a loads of them around the condo right now. It is fixated on a sprinkler head on our balcony. The sprinkler has got mud on it. I am afraid of trying to clean it up lest I damage it or even worse, cause it to flood the units. That has happened to my neighbors below us. Their kid "caught" one of the indoor sprinkler heads with a fishing rod and it flooded their condo and also the one below them. They were out for over three months while the damage was repaired. What a nightmare. Anyway, the mystery continues. Maybe it is building a nest even though I have read that they nest almost exclusively in those gourds or purple martin houses. Time will tell. Perhaps it just likes the view, as I do.....

Stations of the Cross

I am a "not always practicing" Catholic. As a convert to the faith, I am blessed, I suppose, to not suffer from " Catholic guilt." So, if I miss Mass, which I confess, I have done a lot recently, I do not dwell on whether or not I am on the way to Hell. I sincerely hope NOT! But, I digress. My youngest, Joey, reminded me earlier this week that Good Friday is his favorite "Church day." And, it is mine also. So, although I did not attend a Good Friday service, I did take the time to read the Stations and came away renewed. No lighting bolts or anything like that, but a definite sense of peace and well being. Our God is an awesome God and I am so thankful for His Son! He is truly risen!
